POKES PRODUCE WELTS

The family has known for a while that Brant has some pretty serious indoor and outdoor allergies. In order to begin a more targeted treatment program, Maren decided it was time to get the real testing done. It was a 2 hour appt with a 20 minute block of NO SCRATCHING ALLOWED. Going into the appointment, Maren was sure the prickly pokes would be the worst part, but Brant's agony came during the no scratching waiting period. In conclusion, the boy is allergic to grasses, weeds, trees, cats, dust, mold, and soy. Thank goodness for antihistamines!
